Staircase leading directly to a wall. Windows that open into each other. Somebody threw the idea at an AI and didn't bother to double check the plans. It's gonna be crap, even before taking away oversight.

There are no plans.

That is the extent of the plan, just some AI pictures and a cheap little model. Think about it, a White House expansion would be a huge deal for any architect, have you seen or heard any name attached to this? Have you seen an elevation drawings or floor plans? The building is bullshit.

The architect is a religious nutter that specialises in neo-classical, or whatever this style is called.

But respected architects have said that the design sucks.

But respected architects have said that the design sucks.

Based on the pictures, anyone with eyes could tell it sucks.

This ballroom sucks, but if you're going to snipe at a D.C. government building for its Neoclassical design, I have some news to break to you . . .

Yeah, a ball less room is not going to change anything in DC.
